MIAMI, FLORIDA (BNO NEWS) -- Four people were stabbed during a fight early Thursday morning while leaving a Halloween party in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami in southern Florida, local police said. Two of the victims are said to be in an extremely critical condition.

The incident happened shortly after 3 a.m. local time on Thursday in the business district of Coconut Grove when a large crowd gathered as they were leaving a Halloween party at the location. Four young males became involved in a fight with another group of males, after which they were stabbed.

"The crowd separated as the stabbings began and some onlookers watched," said Officer Kenia Reyes, a spokesperson for the Miami Police Department. She said the wounded victims were immediately rendered aid and then transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Unit, where two of them remain in an extremely critical condition.

Shortly after the incident, Miami police officers were able to apprehend a man fitting the description of the knife wielding suspect, although the motive remains unclear. Reyes identified the suspect as 21-year-old Anevri Moreira, who has been charged with one count of attempted second degree murder.
